Combiner Wars Toyline: Rumors, Speculation, Ideas etc

[Zommael]

What might work down the line: Take the helicopter blades off for the submarine, replace the claw arm with a ladder on Rook for the fire engine. And when they do Nosecone for the Technobots recolour him for the drill tank

I'd almost be surprised if this isn't released as a boxed set one day - maybe with a gold/yellow repaint of Blackjack as Sparkplug for more homage-y goodness. But I have my doubts about whether we will actually get the Technobots. *wanders off grumbling about Betatron and Bruticus*

How far does everyone thing Combiner Wars will go?
How many more waves of toys will there be?
As im secretly hoping they release Computron *hopes*

With Scattershot having been shown they probably will

I am hoping for the beast combiners - Predaking and Abominus atleast, Monstructor and Prianacon would be a bonus as they both had 6 figures.

I'd say Computron will come. The Betatron thing is kind of obvious, it being a "work in progress" or whatever they said.

Ok maybe someone can shed some light here, i am a touch confused.
So is Betatron Computron but Hasbro lost the naming rights?
As scattershot will be for Betatron or will he be for both modes?

Betatron is apparently Scattershot combined with the wave 6 Autobots. The name, and the fact that Scattershot has no retooling in robot or combiner mode, makes a lot of people think Hasbro may be hiding Computon up their sleeve ("Beta" being the term used for uncompleted computer software that is being tested). I certainly hope they are - the fact that yet another Bruticus is being made rather than Computron drives me nuts.

Scattershot is a remould of Silverbolt (new jet parts, but not different in robot mode), and comes out in wave 1 of 2016 with Onslaught.
Official artwork of the combined mode was shown at SDCC with the Wave 4 Deluxe Autobots (Prowl, Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Mirage), and since the Wave 1 Deluxes are Combaticons while Wave 2 is four more Autobot cars (Hound, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, Trailbreaker), I don't know if there will be any Technobots...

That's ten full combiners so far known, and probably two more in 2016 if they have four waves like this year.
Plus an extra four Voyagers (Optimus Prime, Cyclonus, Scattershot, Grand Scourge) to make four more combiners if there were enough extra Deluxe limbs released to cover them.

I would like to see a female combiner; Alita-1, Arcee, Chromia, Windblade, Starfire & Moonracer.

There is a female combiner, the fan voted one. None of these characters make her up though
